Despite the fact that fanboydom isn't exactly the smartest choice, I would say that Android fanboys are better just because we don't ignore glaring problems with things.

Most Android fanboys would agree that the Droid X is horrible because of the locked bootloader and eFuse bull*stuff*.

On the other hand, most iPhone fanboys conveniently do not notice problems.

Still, fanboydom in general is not good, especially if the fanboy/girl doesn't KNOW (or won't accept that) they are a fanboy/girl. Personal acknowledgement of such a thing allows for healthier thinking.

Also, shouldn't it be a Linux shell, not a DOS command 'field' (considering how Android runs on a Linux kernel)? :/

douchebags are douchebags....you don't need a phone to make you one. Apple has more users therefore they have more douchebags. Android users are just a more vocal crowd so their douchebags stick out more.
[EVO 4G General] akarol:
Android fanboys are not nearly as vocal as Apple fanboys.
[EVO 4G General] Aridon:
Dig up an old benchmark thread showing the evo getting stomped and tell me android fanbois aren't as bad as apple.
[EVO 4G General] donatom3:
Haha I couldn't have said it better myself.
[EVO 4G General] lzlaxhacker:
I think fanboys of any kind are annoying. I'm not a big fan of Apple as a company, but I'll admit, the iPhone is just a better phone for some people. For me, I need a little for hackability and openness in my phone, so android is the clear choice for me. Personally, I think it is pretty awesome we are at a place where there are a ton of different, awesome phones to fill everyone's needs.
[EVO 4G General] DroidDhakan:
THIS!

I just might put this in my Sig.
[EVO 4G General] topdnbass:
I'm neither. I hate Apple but always test out their new products and give them a fair chance.

I think Android has its flaws but were doing a great job of fixing them..
[EVO 4G General] berkmanmd:
Who cares what others think. Just use what works for you...
[EVO 4G General] SilverZero:
I'll chime in here. And I'm using the term "fanboys" only for convenience, no offense to either side. :)

In my experience, Apple fanboys are vehemently tied to their brand, and I think it's an obvious form of elitism coupled with the fact that they paid too much for a device that's "idiot proof." They know how to turn it on and use the basic functions, but beyond that they're at the mercy of the Genius Bar. But if something does go wrong, there is usually very little complaining from inside the community. It's brought to light by reviewers and outsiders saying "why would you put up with that?"

Android fanboys, on the other hand, tend to be more in-tune with their devices and really want to know how they work. But when they don't work, they flood the forums and the manufacturers' inboxes with reports and complaints. They also depend on a much broader open-source community to maintain and enhance the system as a whole. It's still elitist, but more in the way that Linux users are cocky because they tend to know their system much more intimately, as opposed to Apple users who, in large part, can barely handle one button on their phone.

Apologies to both sides if I've offended anybody. There are exceptions on both sides.
[EVO 4G General] jonathaflores:
I am an Android Fan, I hate Apple, not because is apple, i just dont like how they run things(they like a big monopoly), Android I love because Google,(open-source)( always have prefer google over yahoo, lolz).I would say one thing, apple fanboys are not that smart, if they use a android phone they will say, is to hard i dont understand it.
[EVO 4G General] Drewmungus:
You know it's not so much the apple fanboys that get to me it's the nasty by-products of their fandom. Like If my EVO gets mistaken for a iphone one more freakin time.... I usually just say no it's something better a android!
[EVO 4G General] echoside:
fanboys are the reason I never stick to a forum...Ive had 3 accounts here I think. Get annoyed of fanboys leave, comeback forget user/pass, annoyed of fanboys, leave comeback forget user/pass. Also the reason I only have 2 posts on this account cause I have to sensor myself....haha
[EVO 4G General] th3_g00b:
well, both sides have pros and cons. at least we're not apple users sucking on the teet waiting for our updates to fix our software that tells us we have more reception then we actually do.... at least we can take it on ourselves to fix the problems that other devs might have missed. we have our cake and eat it too, and oh is it soooooo gooooood!! :D
[EVO 4G General] FattySparks:
Another big difference I have noticed is that when apple fanboys ask about an accessory they expect to be able to go and buy one.

Android fanboys will suggest that they make whatever they want.

Just a funny observation I noticed
[EVO 4G General] ho4x:
Or their mouse for that matter. Oh wait, they have two buttons now like the rest of the industry, I forgot.
[EVO 4G General] MrAndroid12:
Android fanboys! They stomp of everything that isn't android and says how it sucks.

They have to comment on videos like, iPhone vs windows phone or windows phone vs black berry and post comments about how those devices are inferior to android devices.

Most apple, windows and blackberry fanboys one b1tch comment on videos featuring their preferred phone.

Another annoying instance is how android fanboys tend to think higher specs = higher performance on a user scale for day to day performance. However, I can tell that my iPad Mini with a dual core A5 offers constantly fluid performance since day one, games all run on the highest graphics setting with fairly high frames per second and only drops a frame or two on a bad day. It has only freezed up a couple of time during safari crashes :p.

My retired N7 exhibits micro lags here and there with no icons on screen, browser in perticular with dolphin being the smoothest needs a little work with smoothness. Games are fairly unoptimised with the tegra 3 chips.

They think they are a very knowledgable person I.e. 2+2=4. They don't understand that touchscreen devices like ios, windows phone and blackberry are coded in c+ which runs natively unlike android's java which requires virtual machine to run looses a lot of performance.

That's my experience, I am planning to get a htc one at the end of the year to see if its hardware has made up for it.

Does any 2.2 version has include Exchange Activesync ?
[Desire General] Phily757:
I think every 2.2 ROM?!

I've got the DeFrost One and the Stock Android Email Client can handle Exchange Push Mail for me :)
[Desire General] jstegeman:
Stock android since 2.1 has it.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yoboy:
Hey all..

First of all, im a noob here, and I have tried to search the forum regarding this issue but nothing seems to match exactly what Im looking for.

I have recently gotten HTC HD2, my first ever cool phone. I thought it was so great that it could handle everything. I have used my phone like 6 days now, and im starting to notice significant delay in its performance, especially when it comes to messaging. Huge number of smses in my inbox is my main suspect. So, is it common for the phone to slow down when the inbox gets fuller? Is there a remedy for this, like can I store the messages in other places instead of inbox? What do you guys do to tackle this issue? Or do you guys simply delete old smses?

Regards
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evolutionqy7:
i know what u mean but i doubt there is such software :(

or a need for one..

personally i dont see the point of all the messages in there :) my max message count was 100 ;) average 15 :) then delete
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ppa25:
If you want to keep them but get them off your phone, sign up for My Phone with Microsoft and archive them from the web interface. They'll be removed from your phone and you can still get them online. You can get them back on your phone by moving them from the archive back to your phone from the web interface.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ppa25:
There's also PIM backup that can be found on this site. You can back them up from there but you can't choose individual messages.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yoboy:
Thanks for your quick reply guys. Looks like i've to live with it. Previously I was using an ancient phone, nokia 6680. It used to have the same problem. And I thought my main problem will be over when I switch to HTC HD2, but nope.. Looks like I have to either delete the old msgs, or back it up some place other than in the phone.

By the way guys, try Jeyo Mobile Companion. Its less than 2MB, and it is very usefull. U can store and manage your msgs easily when you connect your phone to your computer. Very easy to use, i like it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Myphone has already been suggested and you can save messages on there its a great way and you can go through it on the pc so you can delete items you don't want :)

Hi folks. I've got my Evo rooted with the latest damagecontrol ROM.

Everything was working fine until yesterday but for some reason now every time I get a text message, I get a notification from the original Messaging application in the notification bar. It does not go away even after I've read and/or deleted all messages. For each text message I have to hit clear on the notification bar otherwise it does not go away. I've searched online but haven't find a resolution on this yet. If anyone has any ideas, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I figured it out. It was the stupid "Beautiful SMS" widget set to show bar notifications and integrate self to Handcent.

hi to all

my Hd2 is dead today for no reason . i try to put the cellphone into boot mode or hard reset or soft reset but no success. with usb cable plug nothing happened.

my battery is fully charged . the cellphone is brand new and used for only 2 weeks . i have try with power supply to power on and the result is same.

please help me to solve this problem . i am confused .

thank you in advance !
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
cmon, give us at least a bit of help.

model? stock rom? flashed anything? if so what?(exact file name please.)

you use the term "cellphone", you american? is it a tmous? did you flash a non tmous radio? non tmous stock rom?

[HD2 General] samsamuel:

[HD2 General] dezmelody:
hi again

thanks for your attention

as i mentioned above the model is HTC HD2. unfortunately the cellphone is dead now and i dont know any of those information.

py problem now is that i couldn't put the phone on boot loader or hard reset.

nothing occure at all.

help me for alternative flash mode .
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
what were you doing when it went dead?

Trying to flash a ROM or a radio?

Take the battery out and make sure the connectors are not bent (esp. the middle one).
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
lol, still no hard facts,,,, by model i meant is it a tmous(green send key, red end key, says t mobile under earpiece) or a regular hd2(all keys white)?

what's the last thing you did? did you flash something? (full filename please)

it rather sounds like you have a tmous and have flashed the wrong radio and bricked it, but without any facts thats just a wild guess. that or bent battery pin.
[HD2 General] dezmelody:
my phone is regular with no contract.

i have used as common , playing music and recieve a bluetooth file and suddenly phone dies.

i wanna to flash but no sucess with anything . in the other hand i cant even put the phone on boot loader mode at all.

now i want to go into boot loader to flash my phone.
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
Are you putting the phone on charge when you attempt to load it into the bootloader?

How are you attempting to get it to the bootloader?
[HD2 General] dezmelody:
not at all. just did common work .

im sure about battery oin and connection because i have tested with power supply either.
[HD2 General] dezmelody:
battery is fully cahrged and yes , try to connect charger .

volume down + power

volume down + volume up + power

is it correct ?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
HOLD volume down + TAP AND RELEASE power = bootloader (do it with battery cover off)

HOLD volume down + HOLD volume up + TAP AND RELEASE power = Hard Reset
[HD2 General] dezmelody:
nothing happened with none of this methods.

phone still dead and lcd remain black .

can i use another method for flash phone . i mean direct flash or something ?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
Still no model/last rom flashed info....

Please answer yes or no, , , is the 'send' key green?
[HD2 General] dezmelody:
YES , it is
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
Thank you.

That means then that you have a tmous phone, and it sounds like you have flashed an incompatible radio, which has killed (no fix) your phone. However, we cant be 100% sure of that till you give us teh full name of teh last rom/radio you flashed.

(had you answered that in post 8, you would have had 4 hours to cry by now, and would be feeling slightly better, sadly i fear the despair is yet to hit :( )
[HD2 General] otacon:
Non-compatible Radio on TMOUS phone. Killed it for sure. My condolences. Not even the warranty can save your phone...
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
actually several people have sent them back no problem. The phone wont start, so they cant prove hspl.

Just shows how dead it is, hehe
[HD2 General] dezmelody:
hey guys as i told you before this phone is brand new and i used as common.

did not flash , nor hard reset. just after a while suddenly phone dead.

now i want to flash it with proper rom file and back it live. can i ?
[HD2 General] otacon:
The problem is you can't even get the phone to start... Send it back for warranty. That's your best (and only) option for this moment...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] doinbox:
Ok I know this isn't the right forum for this but I know how good the developers in this forum are. What's happened basically is I installed Android on my pc on the same partition as windows xp. But it doesn't work properly and now when I boot it loads grub but windows Isn't listed as an os. So how do I boot into windows and remove android and grub. I've looked everywhere and I can't find how to do it. Plz if anyone can help I will be very grateful.

Thanks

Dion.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rsauerwein:
I'm not an Android expert but I can't imagine, that it's really possible to install Android on the same partition as XP ?!

Edit: OK, maybe it's possible, but it's not a good idea at all..

However...

-Boot with your XP CD

-Press R

-Enter "fixmbr"

That should help you.. :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] art0rs:
It won't be easy removing grub. What you can do is have grub show Windows. Grub will load the Windows bootloader, which in turn will load Windows.

You can also set it to automatically boot the Windows bootloader, so you can delete the Android partition (don't delete grub!).

I don't think there are any Android specific guides available for this, but if you can get into a shell (which I doubt you can't), follow this: h t t p://supergrubdisk.org/wiki/Howto_Boot_Grub_from_windows

Also, I think running fixmbr or something similar from a Windows recovery console (using a DVD) would work (h t t p://support.microsoft.com/kb/927392).

Hope this helps.

Thanks I will try the supergrub link as its a netbook I haven't got a cd drive so ill let you know how I get on. Thanks for replying.

Ok thanks I fixed it. I used the grub console to boot into windows then I used something called testdisk in windows to restore the windows boot partition. Thanks
[XPERIA X10 General] karthigan:
Hi All!

for some reason, I am having issues with Sync.

I completed the entire "ROOTing" procedure on my X10a.

I have about 90+ contacts, some of the contacts have more than 1 contact # listed (e.g. home / mobile / office)

Basically, I had re-create all 90+ from scratch due to unfortunate circumstances with the ROOTing procedure. Which i was not happy about :(

Anyways, first, I created the entire contacts, followed by phonebook ==> contacts backup ==> to SIM :

it displays, some contacts couldn't be back'up'd (I am presuming to long names & having more than one contact #s per person

(2) I tried phone-book ==> back to SD ===> worked perfectly! (Yet, on the SD card, I don't know where it is stored...if someone can tell me what file directory is located under, that would be helpful

(3) Sony Ericsson Sync - it worked, the icon had the sent/receive logo spinng arrow, after the sync is completed, now my phone book has double copies of the contacts....WTF?! ... I had to go manually and delete them ... WHY DID THIS HAPPEN?

(4) Google Sync - apprently, I have 206 contacts items deleted for my xxxxxx@gmail.com account, it reached Maximum Delete Limit, asking me either (a) Undo (b) Delete (c) Do nothing.... again WTF? is this? ... I don't have 206 contacts ... or I deleted any of them...

What do i do?
[XPERIA X10 General] Mobzter:
1) yup most likely double numbers or other additional info

2) I think the contacts are found in your sd card under system/pim.

3) never used it!

4) ermmm you could perhaps try open your phonebook.. import contacts n locate that file n c if its the right file.

then I guess u can delete all ya contacts, I think 206 prob includes all ya duplicates, so delete them all.

Start fresh.. import em then sync across

upto you if ya wanna try my method.. someone might have a different way!!

anyway hope it helps!!
[XPERIA X10 General] karthigan:
Okay, thanks for the reply.

Further to add, what happens now if I had a image to each of the contacts?

Will contact back-up program internally make a back-up of the images too?

Or should I just use SE or Google Sync?

Aside from X10a directly:

is there anyway I can access the Sync'D A/C thru my computer, by logging on to gmail or SE's website?

Perhaps I can modify the Sync'D data / contacts and stop this duplication from happening!

Everytime it SYNC's with SE, it starts the creation of the duplicate profiles, Google Sync is still giving me the 206+ contacts deleted maximum error message.

how do I start fresh?

how do i clear all my Sync'D data from SE or Google? without deleting all my contacts on the phone?

One final question, how do I delete SIM-Card Contacts, is there an APP for it?
[XPERIA X10 General] Mobzter:
Im not sure about images as I don't used them but I doubt they'll be saved when you backup contacts. I think se sync does it but I'm sure I've heard people say they don't get the full quality image back..?

Cant really help ya with se sync but for google, if you go into your googlemail account using your username/password you should be able to view your contact list section and edit from there. But its sync'd so whatever you changed there wil take place on your phone and vice versa.

maybe you can switch of sync mode on your phone and delete all your contacts manually from your google account and then turn sync back on ya phone?

As I was saying earlier, you can accept the deletion request (after you have backed up your contacts).. maybe restart ya phone n c wat happens? surely there must be someone out there who knows the proper procedure? would make it alot easier!!

hope any of the info helps!!
[XPERIA X10 General] sasa3342:
Sony Ericsson Sync app doesn't work on my X10
